REGULATED FLOW DIVIDER VALVES WITH SECONDARY EQUALIZATION VALVES
DRIVE
April 24, 2024
A system (100) includes a flow inlet conduit (102). A primary conduit (104) branches from the flow inlet conduit (102) for delivering flow to a set of primary nozzles. An equalization bypass valve (EBV) (106) connects between the flow inlet conduit (102) and a secondary conduit (!08) for delivering flow to a set of secondary nozzles. The EBV (106) is connected to be controlled to apportion flow from the flow inlet conduit (102) to the secondary conduit (108). A secondary equalization valve (SEV) (114) connects between the flow inlet conduit (102) and the secondary conduit (108). The SEV (114) is connected to be controlled by drain pressure (PD) to apportion flow from the flow inlet conduit (102) to the secondary conduit (108).
